METAPHOSPHORIC ACID - Introduction
Metaphosphoric acid (H4P2O7), also known as pyrophosphoric acid, is an inorganic compound. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of metaphosphoric acid:
Nature:
1. Appearance: metaphosphoric acid is a colorless crystalline solid, the common form is anhydrous and monohydrate.
2. solubility: metaphosphoric acid soluble in water, acidic solution.
3. chemical properties: metaphosphoric acid can be hydrolyzed into orthophosphoric acid, which has strong oxidation and can react with metal to produce phosphate.
Use:
1. as a chemical reagent: metaphosphoric acid is widely used in chemical analysis and synthesis reactions in the laboratory, for the preparation of phosphate, buffer solution, metal cleaning agent, etc.
2. as a fertilizer: metaphosphoric acid is used as an important raw material for phosphate fertilizer in agriculture to supplement phosphorus in the soil and promote plant growth, flowering and fruiting.
Preparation Method:
The metaphosphoric acid can be prepared by reacting orthophosphoric acid with a phosphoric acid diester. First, orthophosphoric acid is dissolved in water and then transesterified with a phosphoric acid diester (e. g., trimethyl phosphoric acid diester) to produce metaphosphoric acid.
Safety Information:
1. metaphosphoric acid has a certain corrosive, avoid contact with skin and eyes, avoid inhalation of its dust or solution.
2. Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and laboratory coat during operation, and keep good ventilation.
3. metaphosphoric acid should be stored in a dry, sealed container, separated from combustibles and easy oxides.
4. When dealing with waste liquid of metaphosphoric acid, environmental regulations should be followed to avoid pollution to the environment and dispose of waste liquid correctly.
